Exposed: The conspiracy theorists who claim coronavirus is linked to 5G

Members of a bizarre organisation that falsely links the new 5G mobile phone network to the coronavirus can be exposed today by The Mail on Sunday.

The cousin of a Tory Minister and the ex-wife of an EastEnders actor are key members of the International Tribunal for Natural Justice (ITNJ), which also promotes claims 5G causes cancer and is a weapon.

Other members include a conspiracy theorist who claims Nasa has kidnapped children and sent them to Mars as slaves.

Scientists have said there is absolutely no connection between 5G and the spread of the coronavirus. However, some, including an organisation known as the International Tribunal for Natural Justice (ITNJ) are spreading the conspiracy theory that there is a link.

Last week, Michael Gove led the condemnation of the 5G conspiracy theories circulating on social media, with celebrities criticised for alerting followers to what the Cabinet Office Minister called ‘dangerous nonsense’.

More than 40 phone masts have been damaged or burnt in attacks linked to the claims.

Investigations by the MoS have now revealed that Chris Cleverly, the cousin of Foreign Office Minister James Cleverly, and Dounne Alexander, the former wife of soap star Rudolph Walker, are both members of the ITNJ.

The ITNJ is a self-appointed ‘court’ that holds unsanctioned hearings on topics ranging from child trafficking and corruption to the ‘effects’ of 5G.

An hour-long documentary produced last year by ITNJ founder Sacha Stone is called 5G Apocalypse: The Extinction Event. It has more than a million views on YouTube. Barrister Mr Cleverly appears in his role as a judge for the ITNJ and even suggests Ministers should be prosecuted for failing to protect people from 5G.

He argues there has been no public debate on the safety of 5G and says this ‘in itself is a breach of Ministerial responsibility and one we really should look at in terms of private prosecution against the Ministers who have failed to protect our right to life’.

Ms Alexander, a natural foods entrepreneur, is a ‘judicial commissioner’ for the ITNJ. She is also an anti-vaccination campaigner who said last week in a newsletter that the NHS should be using ‘natural treatments’ such as garlic and drinkable silver instead of searching for a Covid-19 vaccine.

Other members of the ITNJ include former CIA spy Robert David Steele.

He has claimed child slaves were being sent to Mars, forcing Nasa to issue a denial.

An ITNJ video ‘hearing’ last week on 5G and its links to the coronavirus has already had more than 90,000 views in just eight days. In it, Mr Steele claims coronavirus is an ‘act of war’ and that the virus appears to contain ‘nano particles that can be activated later by 5G’.

Last September, at an ITNJ hearing called 5G Apocalypse held at Chelsea Town Hall, campaigner Mark Steele spoke about 5G being a weapons system designed to kill humans.

The MoS can reveal that Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner Anthony Stansfeld, who appeared in person at a different ITNJ hearing on financial fraud, phoned in and participated in the event.

When asked about his involvement, Mr Stansfeld said: ‘I do not give my name in support of this specific organisation. I was asked some time ago about 5G.

‘Like all powerful radio transmissions, when a new system is introduced, I think it is necessary to ensure that the radiation will not be damaging.

‘I certainly do not believe 5G has any relationship to the coronavirus outbreak. I totally abhor any criminal behaviour such as burning down phone masts.’

In a statement, Mr Cleverly said: ‘I do not go along with any conspiracy theories in relation to 5G but clearly there is a need for debate. The better question is not where is the evidence that it is unsafe but rather where is the evidence that it is safe. Without this any Minister responsible is not fulfilling his duty of care to the public.’

Dounne Alexander could not be reached for comment and the ITNJ did not respond.
